China In The Evolving World Order
Bi-weekly; Week One; Tuesday; 12:15 a.m. – 2:15 p.m.
Online via Zoom
For the past several years this workshop has studied the rise of China, the US response, and their ensuing conflicts that affect Canada and the global order. The workshop will consider a range of current events, issues and policy options as they emerge and evolve in a world fraught with uncertainty. Subject to the facilitator’s discretion, it is expected that workshop members will do a presentation on a topic of interest.
